Awesome mate, simply awesome. I think this watch is more than an IWC Pilot tribute, it is a class of its own.
As it happens that I know the manufacturer personally I can tell you folks he is more than trustworthy and a true gentleman!
By the way, your pictures are just perfect, as always. You really have a talent to put a watch into the right setting, something only Pug or TTK were able to do this way.
Wear it in good health, I hope to see it in person soon in Brussels.
